Kukla's Korner Hockey

Jay Bouwmeester shrugged off the criticism sent his way by TSN analyst and former NHL player Michael Peca during the broadcast of Tuesday’s pre-season game.

However, the Calgary Flames defenceman fired a couple of shots back after hearing Peca say he “enjoyed” playing against Bouwmeester because, among other reasons, he turned pucks over.

“I don’t care. If he wants to say that, that’s fine. He’s not playing any more, so I don’t care,” Bouwmeester said Wednesday. “I’ll probably have a different opinion of the guy that said it. Those guys on TV are what they are.

“At the end of the day, if you’re listening to those guys, you’re in big trouble.”
